This does happen.
It’s happened in my own family, ever since I had a visceral reaction to someone’s Shrine to Obama photo collage on their bedroom walls. I stared bug-eyed, I laughed and then I faked having a heart attack, seizing up and dropping to the carpeted bedroom floor. I thought I was being funny. They didn’t. Yes, Mogan-David dinner wine was involved.
A friend had an 0bama Shrine, too. The shrine is gone, but she still has his picture hanging in her living room. Gawd!
I’m sure she’s waiting for an affordable print of his official portrait - you know, the one where he has six fingers and is sitting on someones un-mowed lawn? LOL!
I have a relative in her 20’s. She always seemed nice and normal until she and her husband moved to Seattle.
Seattle has changed her and not for the better. She and I had words on the night of the election after she melted down. She was spouting that “Love Trumps Hate” bull and I reminded her of the violence against Trump supporters by the left. Naturally, she denied it.
We eventually called a truce and are still Facebook friends but we haven’t spoken since that night. I have noticed that the only people who like her posts are her Seattle Leftist friends. I think she has succeeded in pissing off most of her relatives and friends in Alabama, except her mother and brother.
She has been a bad influence on her brother. After Trump’s victory, he posted very vulgar and vile posts about Trump. I muted him on Facebook and really don’t care if I ever see or speak with him. The only reason that I keep either one of them on my Facebook is for the sake of their Grandmother (My Aunt). Otherwise, both would be unfriended and blocked.
I mean no offense to Seattle freepers but I curse the day she moved up there. I’ve never seen anyone change so much.
